From March 2014 to May 2016, Guinea suffered a large, national Ebola virus disease epidemic in which 3,814 confirmed, probable, or suspected cases and 2,544 deaths were reported. The government of Guinea's National Coordination for the Fight against Ebola collaborated with partner organisations to increase the public's knowledge about Ebola and to promote life-saving prevention practices; for example, mass media, community events, and door-to-door campaigns spread information about Ebola causes and transmission and advised prompt symptom reporting and avoiding contact with sick people and corpses. As the epidemic waned in August 2015, several organisations collaborated to conduct a national household survey that evaluated the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) related to the epidemic response and attitudes about hypothetical Ebola vaccines that might inform future use of experimental or licensed Ebola vaccines. This article shares the results of the KAP survey.
